One of the first things I did was switch from white bread to wheat bread. Whole wheat is even better. This switch is important because white bread is processed to remove valuable vitamins and also sugar is added. Wheat bread is known to improve your heart's function and improve your digestive health. A simple change like this can jump start your body and give you extra energy.
Another change I made was to replace butter in certain recipes that you need to saute or make rice, with olive oil. Olive oil is good for your heart and lowers your blood sugar. This small change does not make a big difference in the taste but does make a difference in how healthy the meal is.
The final thing I have began to do is keep a stock of my favorite fruit. So, if I have a craving for something sweet, I grab a naturally sweetened piece of fruit. And if I decide to have another one, I won't feel guilty about it like I would after eating sweets. Fruit reduces your risk of chronic diseases and gives you a boost of energy similar to a sugar rush but without the crash. There are more ways to make small changes to your eating habits. Eating right won't happen overnight, but you have to start some where!
